22 Days Until the Big 4-0!
Only 22 days left of this age group before my birthday. I’ve got some mixed feelings about this birthday. I think the older I get, the more mixed feelings come up. As I look back on how I’ve spent my 20s and 30s, I can’t say I have very many regrets. All of the bad…

Race Recap: Surf City Half Marathon 2024
I finally ran three years in a row and made it to the Longboard Legacy Club! In past years I had always intended to make it three years uninterrupted, but for some reason or another I always had to skip the third year. Last year I almost had to bail from the race but ended…

Race Recap: Boulderthon Half Marathon 2023
I’ve seen Boulderthon advertised locally for a few years now, and have always been curious about it. I think the first year was on a trail, and since I am pretty clumsy on trails I skipped it. Last year was just out of the question. This year was also out of the question since after…

Race recap: Colfax Half Marathon 2023
Half marathon 57 🥳 This was my first Colfax half marathon. I’ve completed the relay race, and had to go virtual another year, but this was my first official half marathon with them.

A lot of folks go misdiagnosed for years — typically for depression or anxiety — because they seek help during those lows. In the highs, it appears like…

Race Recap: Red Shirt Run 10K 2023
February was a busy month! I took a week of vacation to visit friends/family (and to drive 2,000 miles!) and then went straight back to LA for a work trip. As with any work trip, I always try to multi-task so I checked my most favorite website ever – runningintheusa.com – for some fun weekend…

Race Recap: Chilly Willy 10K 2023
Wanting to take advantage of the beautiful New Mexico winter, I did some more Googling after my 10K in Las Cruces and found that there was a 10K in Albuquerque the following weekend. It was the Chilly Willy race, and it certainly lived up to its name. To reduce the amount of driving, we ended…

2023 New Year’s Resolutions
New Years resolutions usually suck. However, I’ve seen some folks who stick it out really….stick it out! My new years resolutions (already revised since Jan 1st) –
